Hello future DP Art Students!

Over the summer, I would like you to familiarize yourself a bit with the course and complete this little assignment in your IWB.

Please look at the IBVA handbook located here:




Gallery/Museum visit:

You are required to visit at least one museum/gallery exhibition over the summer holiday.
Please choose something that is of interest to you.

In your workbook, include the following:
  • the name of the gallery/museum
  • where it is located
  • the name of the specific exhibition or artist

Describe the exhibition:

  • What was the theme of the show?
  • What style of work is it?
  • What is the medium? etc.

Analyze the work:

Using appropriate art vocabulary ( a list is on artypants@wikispaces.com) describe how the elements and principles of art are used in the work.

Interpret/Judge/Reflect:

What does the work mean to you? What were the artists intentions? Include your personal reflections on the work. Do you like it? Why? How does it connect to your work/style/interests. Does it connect to any other artists you have looked at?

Document:
Take a photo of yourself at the exhibit and include any cards or brochures. Add sketches as well.

I expect this to fill at least 2 full pages. EXAMPLE HERE

Have Fun and get excited about ART!
